Test drive of Ertiga Zxi

Exterior

 Just like any other maruti car it has mediocar look. Height and width is just right for city  driving and occasional highway outings.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 Despite having smaller length, it provides good interior space. Probably because of smaller engine compartment. Beige Interior looks very pleasant  and spacious.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

Petrol engine lacks mid RPM torque and power. Hoever above 2500 RPM engine peps well. Gear box is not very positive when compared with vento  / etios. Gear shift feels as good as Manza.  Its smaller engine will provide good milage in city.

Ride Quality & Handling

 Ride quality is stable, negligible ROLL, suspensions are adequete for rough roads.

Final Words

 Value for money ??? (Not really) It can not be compared with Xylo or Innova as they belong to different catagories of vehicles. Ertiga is LARGER HATCH BACK for 5 adults with occasional trip with 2 kids.

Areas of improvement  

 300 mm longer car would have made ertiga a WINNER of all time.

 

Reasonable size, fuel efficiencyNo boot, lower leg room,
